What is the benefit of mouth taping?
Nasal breathing is particularly important for healthy sleep. Mouth taping helps purify the air and filter out allergens and pollutants, allowing the body to absorb enough oxygen and preventing unpleasant side effects such as snoring or dry mouth.
Nasal breathing explained
Breathing through your nose increases the level of nitric oxide in your blood and, consequently, the oxygen supply to your tissues. More oxygen in your body means more relaxation. So, if you're feeling nervous, angry, panicky, or agitated, consciously breathing through your nose helps.
Frequently asked questions about mouth tape
How do mouth tapes work?
The tape is applied to the lips before bedtime to gently keep the mouth closed. Once the mouth is closed, the body is forced to breathe through the nose.
Nasal breathing can better filter, humidify and warm oxygen, leading to better breathing quality and faster recovery of the body.
That's why nasal breathing is so important
Nasal breathing allows for better oxygen absorption than mouth breathing. Improved oxygen saturation of the cells provides the body with more energy. Furthermore, nasal breathing promotes a deeper and slower breathing rate, which in turn reduces stress and promotes relaxation.
